and delicate seafood!

A jet of steam ejects through the top of the steam
release valve.
This is normal!
When pressure has been fully released, the oat valve
drops into the lid.
If there is substantial spatter while venting, ick the quick release button to set it back
to Seal.
CAUTION
Steam ejected from the steam release valve is hot. DO NOT place hands, face,
or any exposed skin over the steam release valve when releasing pressure to
avoid injury.
NOTICE
Do not use QR when cooking fatty, oily, thick or high-starch foods (e.g., stews,
chilis, pasta and congee) or when cooking foods that expand when cooked
(e.g., beans and grains).
NOTICE
Do not turn the quick release button more than ¼” (or 45°). The top should spring
back to its original position and the button will pop up.
